4th January 2010

When Joey Yung was giving a radio interview, it was mentioned that some fans weren’t very happy about the recent Chik Chak award results and they have been fiercely voicing their displeasure on the Internet. Joey replied to this by saying: “Aiya, forget about it, it’s in the past. Actually, I’m quite satisfied with the result, and I’m grateful for the care that everyone has shown to me. (Some fans might be going to the ICAC?) That’s a bit over the top. Maybe the fans are too engrossed in the matter, and as they become more engrossed, the more that will come into their minds.”

Ivy: Honestly, when I knew the results, I wasn't really happy too because I thought a top ten song for Joey was guaranteed. Come to think of it, Joey's 'Sau San Gei' was nominated under the top 5 most favourite song, but did not win an award for top ten song. Which kind of don't make sense. However, fortunately Joey did not went home empty handed and got a Gold Female Singer award which is her 3rd conseutive win and 5th Gold in 10 years beating Faye Wong and Sandy Lam's record. Congratulations to Joey!!

In addition, I think fans should not over-react up to the point of reporting to ICAC which I think is too overboard and will not make Joey happy instead the other way round! At this stage of her singing career, I believe awards are not Joey's main target anymore. She does not need an award to prove that she can sing. An award is instead a bonus to her, and quality instead of quantity is more important. Instead, having more freedom to choose her singing style and path in the following years of her career should be her main focus.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!

Ivy: Before I say anything, first of all Happy New Year to everyone!!! Have been busy last few days because my dog dislocated his kneecap...ouch! The vet said he can't do anything and the option available is a surgery which he do not recommend because of my dog's age (8 years). 2nd option is to leave it as it is now and use painkillers and anti inflamation medication. So now he's under medication. Fortunately he could walk after the 2nd day of medication. Vet also said he has to shade some weight off to reduce the stress on his dislocated leg. So that's my dog's new year resolution.

Hahaha...for me, my new year resolution is also to lose some weight!! And also my new year wish is that my study exchange application to be granted^^ Hope all goes well this new year and may your wishes come true too!!! Have a great day tonight and most importantly, may the new year be better and bring more happiness, peace and health!!

Christmas Present From Astro

Received a call this morning from courier service around 9am(which I was barely awake) asking if I'm at home today as I have a parcel from Astro.

I was wondering why would I have a parcel from Astro?? Then I recalled earlier this month I received a call from Astro Dynasty Contest. They just asked me for verification and did not say if I won anything. BTW, I just tried my luck on an Astro contest few months ago for the TVB Awards ceremony trip etc etc.

Just received the parcel less than an hour ago. Turns out I won second prize for the contest and it was a Burning Flame III DVD. Not really a big fan of the series (I haven't really watch it yet) but well, its a good addition to my collection and probably when any of the casts comes, I can get some autographs on the DVD! Hehehe...

Thank You to Astro for the 'Christmas' gift(second one this year after another lovely and thoughtful gift from Anna and next, waiting for probably 'New Year' gift which I present myself, Joey Yung Perfect Ten Live Special Boxset!! HEHEHE...

今日VIP: Joey Yung

Yesterday's episode of TVB's 'VIP Today' featured Joey Yung. At first I just planned to watch it, but after watching it, I decided to share it here and also share my thoughts because there are too many funny moments from the interview. Haha.Watch it on youtube before its being removed (or download it from the link provided below this post)!! Haha.

Part 1

Joey expressed that she is willing and ready to film another TVB series for TVB in the coming year. She wish to film an ancient series(not too heavy like Beyond) but some funny character with a braid or prefarably period drama. She also said that she's interested in 'weird' characters such as acting as a 'zombie'. Haha...I personally am looking forward to see Joey act in another drama series but I was hoping a serious character in a period/ancient drama instead. Will surely be a fresh feel and challenge for Joey to act serious.

Besides that, Joey talking about her dance moves with Eason and also how she described Eason as a 'Fat Boy' was really hillarious.

Part 2

Joey hinted that she will be working on a duet with Leo Ku in the near future. And Leo Ku kept on asking her to let him be her MV director...HAHAHA. Joey says that she hopes to work with and also admires Ivana Wong and Khalil Fong. Its funny how Roland said Khalil has to go for an extra ten days as a vegetarian if he were to work with Joey and Joey replied, 'Why? The sin is too big to work with me that he has to be vegetarian? Amitabha.' HAHAHA.......

One thing that saddens me is Joey's health condition. Joey said that with her knee problem, she will only think of doing the best and most for her job and make the most money now and already prepared to spend her older days with a wheelchair. I'd rather Joey rest more than see her end her career in a wheelchair. That's really saddening. And she is still wearing high heels and learning dancing. And also she said she fell down from the stairs during a 'quick-change'(changing dresses for performance) which dislocated her bone without her realising until weeks later when she consult a doctor. Now it is really sad to see her wear heels everytime as you can imagine she's smiling on the surface, but inside, she's experiencing pain deep into her bones! I hope Joey will reconsider this!

Almost at the end of the clip, Joey was also very silly as she kept on looking at the monitor (can't be seen by viewers) to see if her sitting position and legs are prettySuch Silliness...LOL

Part 3

Talking about becoming 30 years old, its funny how Joey is also similar to my life in KL. Hahahaa...and sometimes in Penang too, staying up until 4am in the morning and so afraid that the sun rises so better rush to bed. And the reason for sleeping this late is also similar! Because of the computer and internet. Haha. One thing similar to Joey is also that I rarely like to go out and hangout for no particular reasons and rather stay and feel more comfortable at home!

Joey also say that she doesn't mind any kind of relationship and does not put in anymore conditions for her Mr. Right. Age difference(younger or older) and good looks(which she argues she has never dated a good looking guy before) is not a choice for her to set. Joey's very open about relationship and once, she even said she may get pregnant before marriage too and said its a different century now so people should broaden their minds..HAHA. Joey also feels that people that don't know her will think she's strict and cool. Which Roland denied and which I also believe so. I think Joey is just not comfortable starting the conversation and breaking the ice.

Ivy: what I wrote are highlights and what I feel was funny from the interview. Watch it to see Roland and Joey's silliness. Haha. I better go off to bed now! Although I'm not turning 30 next year, but I'm turning 20! Haha...must erm...try to preserve the youthfullness in me....WAKAKA....Goodnight!

Charmaine Sheh didn't sleep for 100 hours

Translations credits to AsianEU

Charmaine Sheh is well known for being very endurant for hard work, but never thought she would go without any sleep for 100 hours due to her workload. Her record of lack of sleep surprises everyone. Charmaine disclosed that she loves eating durian and steam crab, and in her handbag, she always carries sweets to keep her happy. She had an interview with a reporter the other day.

Reporter: What do you usually bring with you when you go out everyday?

Charmaine: I must have my cell phone, sweets and lipstick. Although I don't really like to eat sweet, I have one now and again to keep me happy.

Reporter: Which part of your body you focus most?

Chartmaine: My hands for sure. This is because one can look at your hands to know your age. That is why I never washed any dishes since I was little, even though my mom offered me 200 dollars, I wouldn't do it.

Reporter: what other languages would you like to learn?

Charmaine: Japanese, because I love shopping in Japan. If I know the language, I can bargain and I can even ask for direction.

Reporter: When you look at someone, which part of the body do you pay attention to?

Charmaine: The eyes, I can tell if that person is telling the truth by looking into his eyes.

Reporter: What type of person annoys you most?

Charmaine: I hate irresponsible person. This type of person looks like a tiger, but acts like a snake, severely affect the progress of work, other people have to finish off for him.

Reporter: What is your favorite drink?

Charmaine: Pearl tea, best added with plumule.

Reporter: What is your favorite food?

Charmaine: Durian and steam crab, even though my skin is sensitive to that, I still eat them.

Reporter: What food do you hate most?

Charmaine: Golden Beef Roll. I ate that in a Japanese restaurant with my mummy when I was little. I was full, but there were 8 left, my mummy asked me to help finish eating them. I did, but I was sick afterwards as I ate so much. After that, I never ate Golden Beef Roll.

Reporter: What is your longest record for not sleeping?

Charmiane: Four years ago, I was in the mainland working on "Under the Qianlong South", I didn't sleep for 5 days 4 nights. I was working till I lost my soul, and I could actually sleep standing up. On the third day, I was paralysed and didn't know what I was doing.

Reporter: Who do you respect most?

Charmaine:My form teacher when I was in primary 6. My maths was very bad, but the teacher coached me after school. I visited him this year, he is 80 years old but still looked very fit and healthy.

Ivy: I realise that Charmaine is becoming more and more straighforward in replying to questions now. I guess its a sign of establishment in her acting career where you don't really mind what people say or see you as anymore but just focus on acting well and giving out full performance to the audience.

Charmaine not wanting to wash dishes??? LOL....she has to find a husband that is willing to wash all the dishes for her then. LOL. Or perhaps have to hire a maid to do that. I guess as fans, Charmaine not sleeping for days is not a new knowlegde to us. Her hardwork in the past paid out when she won the best actress award in 2006. That's why now Charmaine take long breaks and also film less drama series if you realise. Hehe.

And Charmaine loves durians haha...something Malaysian fans can help her with the next time she comes^^

Talking about not enough sleep, its late now so I better go to sleep~~

New Song: 桃色冒險

Another new song plugged by Joey Yung!!!

Title: 桃色冒險 (To Sik Mo Him)

Performer: Joey Yung

Composer/Producer: Carl Wong

Lyrics: Wyman Wong

***Download CD Version***: Sendspace

Lyrics:

桃色冒險

穿起大紅和服出發
被滿天飛霜 冰成雪白
然後降臨 在鉄塔
騙過這 衛星的探測

假使用完甜蜜配額
團聚只等如 互相踐踏
各自逃亡 讓魂魄
差天隔地 但自由在握

避見面能避一天 就一天 逐天
穿梭於宇宙 任何奇幻國境線
即使將 歷史書 望穿
找不到我在 戰國裡 轉過圈

共你別離後一篇 又一篇 續篇
都不想有着 任何重叠落腳點
這一...刻 在新宿御苑
一聽見你的風 已跳到四川
重新冒險

北非二零年代近麼
橫越幾光年 住天蝎座
切勿回頭 覓尋我
小心碰撞 若裂痕甚多

避見面能避一天 就一天 逐天
穿梭於宇宙 任何奇幻國境線
即使將 歷史書 望穿
找不到我在 戰國裡 轉過圈
共你別離後一篇 又一篇 續篇
都不想有着 任何重叠落腳點
這一刻 在新宿御苑
一聽見你的風 已跳到四川
重新冒險

截斷直流電 扮做素未謀面
一天 若一天 遇險
火車廂裡面 突然浮現你的臉
將空間 立即的 劃穿
一轉身坐在 喀布爾 那戲院

讓往事流逝 一圈 又一圈 像煙
彼此的惡夢 做完留在夢那邊
於一起 沒好的事件
應該隔遠一點 背對背上演
桃色冒險

*please excuse me if there are any mistakes for the above pinyin lyrics

Ivy: Finally a promising fast song from Joey after 'On The Treadmill' last year. This song is also the themesong for Asia Game Expo 2009 and Joey is the ambassador for the expo this year.

My thoughts of the song was, first time listening to it, I feel it sounds a little unusual. Something very different and unique from how Joey normally sings. After listening for a few times, it starts to sound better and the melody starts to be digested and accepted. I love how the concept of classical instruments such as the trumpets, bass and drums are incorporated with modern digital techno music to bring out the Big Band and Japenese-Pop feel to the song (which suits the Asia Game Expo theme). As to the lyrics, the song is too new so I haven't seen the lyrics of the song yet.

Good job to Joey for another breakthrough with a new genre of song. I like how Joey is experimenting with all kinds of genre of music in her albums especially after her Starlight Concert and not rely too much on love songs and K-songs.

P.S I will upload the link for clear version of the song as soon as it is available! (usually takes 2-4 days)~
